One Word, Three Ways: Wave

Meet Word Nerd! He loves nothing more than finding a word he can use in different ways. This time his super-duper, triple-useful word is wave.

From the September 2020 Issue

Did you know that wave can mean “an area of moving water,” “to move your hand back and forth to say hello or goodbye,” or “the rise of a feeling”?


 Word Nerd shows you how!
